We spent today in Little Rock with Rachel's brother Titus, his wife Nancy, and his daughter Katie. Also, they have a Schnauzer named Sean. Daisy and Sean got along for a while, mostly by avoiding each other, but every once in a while Sean would get between Daisy and someone she wanted to be near and she'd attack him. One time they really got into it and Sean got sent to his crate even though the fight was totally Daisy's fault. I felt bad for him, but because I am a guest here I let it go.
Titus is in the Air Force, as a C-130 mechanic. He took us to the base, and was able to get us onto the tarmac where all the planes were parked. About 80 big cargo planes parked out there... impressive. We walked up to the first one and he opened the door and let us get inside it. It was about 105 on the tarmac, but that plane had been parked and closed up all day, so it was about 120 in the cockpit... toasty, but so impressive that I didn't mind being in there for a few minutes. I should've taken the chance to sit in the pilot's seat, but i didn't. After checking the plane out, we walked back out onto the 105 degree tarmac and man, it felt nice and cool compared to that dang plane! I bought a mocha frappuccino and an Air Force knife sharpener at the BX, then we went home. We watched Bolt and got in some much-needed relaxation.
Note: called ABF to inquire about where our stuff is. Turns out it has already arrived in Chattanooga, and is ready to be picked up. Right on time, I suppose, but I'm not sure how long it's been there. They were supposed to call me when it was a couple days out, but they didn't. Oh well, no big deal.
